The road from Maryvale into Chamber's Pillar is pretty rough. Lots of large corrugations and one big long dust bog hole, where we chose to take one of the bypass tracks both in and out. Also one steep pinch. I chose to use low range on the descent and then on both the climb and descent on the way out.

Still I think it was worth it.

The pillar is not an isolated feature. There are a number of other less prominent features in the same area.

Graffiti or historically significant? The accessible base of the pillar is soft sandstone and it is possible to engrave your name in it. There are old engravings from explorers through the area and then from some of the pioneering families. AlsoTom, Dick and Harry in 2018 who don't think the signage requesting that you do not engrave your name is referring to them. The lettering of the old engravings is much better than the modern stuff.
